Cream Cheese Pancakes Recipe – Gluten Free

If you’re on a keto diet, you’ll love this low carb cream cheese pancakes recipe. It can help you get through induction or weight loss phase.

I had to stop an extended egg fast a couple weeks ago after learning that I’m sensitive to chicken egg whites. But, I’m considering going back to it after finding a source of duck eggs.

It gets pretty boring eating just eggs on the fast, so I’m working on a few new recipes using duck eggs. Although I have an egg fast pancake recipe I needed to find a recipe that works with jumbo sized eggs.

That’s why I created a cream cheese pancakes recipe that makes up a larger batch than a standard recipe. The general conversion is that two duck eggs are equivalent to three chicken eggs.

The other thing that I’ve noticed is that duck eggs result in lighter and fluffier breads. So, these cream cheese pancakes are rise better than the egg fast pancakes I’ve made in the past with chicken eggs.

If you can find a good supplier locally, I highly recommend checking out duck eggs. A lot of people have developed a food sensitivity to chicken eggs and you may not even know you have it.

Thankfully, duck eggs are an option for me because the protein is different than chicken eggs. So, those with sensitivity to chicken egg whites can eat duck egg whites.

My food sensitivity test showed that I’m not sensitive to chicken egg yolks, so I can still have them if I want. The yolks are the best part of the egg anyway.

Although I used duck eggs, I made sure this cream cheese pancakes recipe could be used with standard large eggs. If you want the fluffiest pancakes, I do recommend using the duck eggs.

I’m planning to go back on an egg fast this week. So, I made up my egg fast quiche to make eating lunch at work quick and easy.

My meal plan for work days is to have the cream cheese pancake for breakfast and then a slice of quiche for lunch. I’ll also be doing an intermittent fast.

I’ve actually been dealing with bloating and I suspect that I may have low stomach acid. So, I’ll be trying out the remedies suggested by Dr. Axe.

Most of my weight gain seems to be from water retention and inflammation. Not having enough acid in your stomach can cause bloating and other issues. It’s even been linked to hormonal imbalance.

You’ll also love that these flourless cream cheese pancakes are super low in carbs.

When I do the nutritional calculation, I’m only coming up with 1.8 grams total carb for 3 small pancakes which is only about 1 gram net after subtracting the fiber from psyllium.

I used about three tablespoons of batter for each small pancakes. And, I ended up with twenty-one pancakes which works out to be seven servings.

So, this low carb pancake recipe makes enough to give you a week’s worth of breakfast. You can eat them all in a week, share them, or freeze some for later.

Yes more like a crepe but good. I think I will add more cream cheese next time and vanilla extract not flavoring so I can see if I will have a more substantial pancake. Reminiscent of a French toast flavor. I may even add some whipping cream to the batter.

This is fabulous! I heated up some frozen blueberries with a little stevia and topped the pancakes with that and sprinkled with chopped walnuts. Very filling. Eating healthy tasted soooo good! Love your site!

These are fantastic keto crepes but I would argue they are not pancakes. I followed the recipe to a “t” and they were not fluffy or cake-like. I understand keto version of recipes cannot perfectly relicate the original food. Had I known they’d be so flat and crepe-like I would’ve planned my meal around these differently.

Thank you though! I would suggest changing the title to cream cheese crepes?

Hi I came across you page while looking for breakfast ideas for my daughter. I had to write you because I read that you were having bloating issues and that’s what I also deal with. I know the weight I gain is from water retention and inflammation because I can literally gain 10 pounds then lose it when my stomach is not as irritated, sounds crazy but it true, LOL. Have you tried and of Dr. Axe’s remedies and if so have they worked. Any advise would be greatly appreciated! Thanks a bunch:)

I found out I have a sensitivity to eggs and corn. And, if I eat too much fiber sweetener or erythritol I’ll have issues. I’m also at an age now where hormones have triggered it. But, drinking a lot of water and sticking to a more paleo diet helps me.

Duck eggs! I’m allergic to chicken egg whites but not the yolks also, but I never thought of duck eggs. I’ve never tasted duck eggs. Do they taste like chicken eggs? Do they fry up like chicken eggs? If I can find some duck eggs, I’m going to try this recipe. I miss out on so many foods I like because of the egg allergy, especially fried egg sandwiches and just plain “dippy” (sunnyside up) eggs.

Local farms in my area sell duck eggs in the warmer weather so I resorted to buying them online since it’s winter. Very expensive to get them at duckeggs.com, but worth it for me. The duck eggs taste like chicken eggs to me, but they do give a better rise to cakes and breads. You use them just like chicken eggs, but they are jumbo size and have a tougher shell. The lab results I got stated that I could have duck egg whites to replace chicken ones. If you can find duck eggs, I highly recommend them particularly if you can’t have chicken eggs.
